OUR STORY

Experience that
connects the dots.

Founded by Adam Harris
Advanced Digital Solutions · 2011

ADS was founded in 2011, building on Adam’s earlier experience in video, post-production and digital media.

That background brought together two disciplines that still shape the business: making content look right and understanding the technology needed to deliver it.

Today, the work spans native mobile apps, websites, content management, branding and digital consulting. The medium has changed, but the attention to presentation, usability and detail remains.

We look at the whole experience — what your customers see, how they use it and how your team manages it behind the scenes.

WHAT WORKING WITH ADS LOOKS LIKE

Good work starts
with understanding.

01

Start with your business

We want to understand who you serve, what you need to achieve and what is getting in the way. That gives the project a purpose before we decide how it should look or work.

02

Think beyond the screen

The visible design is only part of the experience. We also consider the content, administration and practical day-to-day use of what we build.

03

Work through it together

We discuss the direction, review the work and refine the details with you, so decisions stay connected to the original brief.

04

Look beyond launch

We discuss ongoing support and future improvements as part of the project, helping you plan for the life of the platform as well as its launch.

FROM THE DETAIL TO THE BIGGER PICTURE

One conversation.
A joined-up approach.

Your branding, website, app and content should feel like parts of the same business.

Because our work covers both design and development, we can consider those connections from the start. A visual decision needs to make sense for the user. A technical decision needs to work for the people managing it.

You might need a single service or a combination of skills. We start with the work that will be useful to you.

OUR OWN PRODUCT / COURSEMATE

Putting the thinking
into practice.

CourseMate brings our app development, design and content management work together in one platform for golf clubs.

Each club has its own branded app, supported by a CMS for managing news, events, promotions and course information. It is a practical example of designing for the people using the app and those keeping it up to date.

CourseMate.

One club. One app.
